After that when I try to use a shelf tool, for exaplae PyroFX - Flames, i get the following error dialogue:

I have tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling the latest daily build.
I'm running it on windows 7 and have updated the video driver and the windows updates.
It was working last time I used it. Please help.

Try removing your entire Houdini16.0 folder from the My Documents area. Just move it to the desktop and then try a re-install. When the installer or first run occurs it will detect there is no Houdini16.0 folder and recreate everything in that folder in a default state.

Enivob you did it!!!!
Thank you so much. I was starting to get Houdini withdrawals.
